Persons with disabilities to take part in 2025 StanChart Marathon alongside able-bodied participants

PHOTO: LIANHE ZAOBAO SINGAPORE – In a push for inclusivity, the 2025 Standard Chartered Singapore Marathon (SCSM) will feature persons with disabilities (PWDs) alongside able-bodied participants, as part of an initiative titled One Race, Many Journeys. The initiative was launched at The Westin Singapore on June 4 in celebration of it being the official elite hotel for the SCSM for the third straight year, with the hotel pledging to help PWDs achieve their sporting goals at Singapore's biggest marathon. This is not the first time that the SCSM will see participation of PWDs, with wheelchair users having already featured previously. In 2018, it introduced an elite wheelchair racing category, which was also included in 2019 . James Walkden, general manager of The Westin Singapore , said: 'This year, we wanted to do more to support the community and encourage more people to get involved. Therefore, we came up with the One Race, Many Journeys initiative to demonstrate that there are many ways to get to one destination and there is no one correct answer.' Selected PWDs will receive complimentary entry to the category of their choice at this year's SCSM, those being the 5km, 10km, half-marathon or marathon categories. Showing their support at the launch were American former Paralympic champion swimmer Gregory Burns and Australian ultramarathoner Natalie Dau, both of whom are based in Singapore and ambassadors of The Westin Singapore. Natalie Dau (left) and Gregory Burns (right) are both ambassadors for The Westin Singapore. PHOTO: LIANHE ZAOBAO Burns, who has been living in Singapore for the past 30 years, believes the initiative will help change public perception of PWDs in wider society. 'When I came here in 1995, there were much fewer physically challenged people out and about. But in 30 years, the physical infrastructure has got better,' said the 68-year-old, a three-time Paralympian with five medals (two golds, two silvers, one bronze). 'Singapore has developed and grown as a compassionate society and the SCSM is yet another way to show that these physically challenged people are out and about and we all can make the best of what we do.' Burns, who is also a passionate artist, unveiled an artwork he had been working on for the past month in support of the initiative. The artwork, named Runners, is a hybrid media piece that combines digital art with contemporary painting techniques. 'This is a collage painting and it's (also) a collage of a race of different people with different abilities and disabilities,' he said. Dau, who completed the second iteration of Project 1000 in May, this time running 1,000km through the Philippines over 12 days , encouraged those participating in the SCSM to be more actively inclusive. Dau, 53, said: 'There's still a big gap between the people that are starting and the people that may be a bit more experienced and I think what we've been missing in Singapore is real inclusivity and the community coming together.' 'Try to mend your passion with purpose. If you have the opportunity to run the marathon for something bigger than yourself, make the most of that,' she added. 'A lot of us don't have friends with disabilities, so if you are running next to someone who is not able-bodied, then have a chat (with them) and welcome them into the community.' After the event launch, both Burns and Dau went for a short 2.4km run with members of the public. PHOTO: LIANHE ZAOBAO The 2025 SCSM will take place on Dec 6 and 7. Registration is open till Nov 30, or until all slots are sold out. The 2024 edition drew about 55,000 runners over three days, including close to 13,000 international participants from 84 countries.

May 31 South Africa (Scottsville) form analysis
Race 1 (1,100m) Mostly first-timers but of those who have run, (6) THAT'LL B THE DAY was well supported on debut but that was on the Poly and she finished down the field. She can make the required improvement on turf. Visiting (9) LET'S GO LOLA started at long odds on debut but was narrowly beaten into third. She should come on from that effort. (8) WORLD OF ROYALTY found some market support on debut and finished a respectable third. She too should benefit from having a run. (7) MFETHU is a well-bred first-timer and may be worth following in the market. Race 2 (1,600m) (12) ALEX MILLER has been costly to follow for her supporters, a beaten favourite at her last two. She has drawn wide but gets first-time blinkers. (3) PROMISE OF FIRE was run out of it late with first-time blinkers. She has shown steady improvement and has a good draw. The extra furlong should also suit. (5) TERMINAL VELOCITY is way better than her last run from a wide draw. She may also have needed the outing and is sure to improve. (2) FINE WINE is a late starter but has shown up well in her two outings to date. From a handy draw, she is one to keep an eye on in the betting. Race 3 (1,600m) (5) ONE SMART COOKIE has come well of late and tries for a winning hat-trick. She steps up to a mile from a decent draw and only got a two-point raise in the handicap for her last win. (2) PRINCESS ILARIA is in good form on the Highveld. She stays the trip well and from a handy draw should be right there. (10) FAIZAH is always game and her last win was over course and distance. (9) ZENA ROSE was narrowly beaten last run and got a four-point raise in the handicap. Duncan Howells stays with her 4kg-claiming apprentice. Race 4 (1,600m) (7) TERMINATOR comes from a very much in-form stable and has been narrowly beaten at his last two over the trip. (11) GURKHA was beaten by over six lengths by runaway winner (8) INGQWELE last time, but the former is now 4kg better off which should bring them closer together although both are still improving three-year-olds. (5) FORWARD MOTION is a smart filly. She is up against it in this field but with a 4kg claimer aboard she can make her presence felt. Race 5 (1,200m) The unbeaten (10) DIRECT HIT looks to be a serious filly and if she handles the sometimes-tricky Hollywoodbets Scottsville straight she should be right there. (5) ONE FINE WINTER was a comfortable winner of her last start. He also ran second to Golden Palm in the SA Nursery. (4) COMIC RELIEF goes the extra furlong but is unbeaten in two on this track which is in her favour. (2) WILD WILD GREEN may just have needed her last run on this course and should benefit from the outing. She looks more than useful. Race 6 (1,200m) (3) GREEN DIAMOND takes on the colts in the Gold Medallion but has not been tested at her last two including the SA Nursery against males. Way above average. (7) MILITARY COMMAND was disappointing last run but may have needed the outing after his trip back from the Cape. (9) I'M A FIREBALL did not appear to handle the soft ground of his last start after winning smartly on debut. He should improve on his last showing. (1) ZALATORIS looks held by Green Diamond on their last showing, but can still run a place. Race 7 (1,200m) (10) ASIYE PHAMBILI was a game second last run over course and distance giving the winner 8.5kg. She comes with smart Cape form and Duncan Howells knows what it takes to win this race. (5) RASCOVA and (1) DOUBLE GRAND SLAM are top-class fillies. However, all of their recent meetings have been over a mile and further and although classy, always comes through. It may prove prudent to look for the tried and tested over the trip. (8) MIA MOO is unbeaten in two since returning from the Cape and is sure to have been aimed at this race by Sean Tarry. Race 8 (1,200m) Nothing went right for (9) KING OF THE GAULS when making the trip to the Cape. He caught the eye when just out of the money last time and looks cherry-ripe for this race with a light weight. (16) TENANGO has smart form over the trip at Kenilworth and should make a bold bid. (15) SURJAY seldom runs a bad race. He has run two smart races in Group company of late and this course will suit. (5) OUTLAW KING was a neck ahead of King Of The Gauls when last they met and there should not be much between the two again although there may be more to come from the latter. Race 9 (1,200m) (15) ISIVIVANE won well first run back from a long break but was well beaten behind Sail The Seas and Eight On Eighteen in the Group 2 WSB Guineas. He looks to be back over a more suitable trip. (5) UN BEL DI has useful Cape form in good company and should be in the firing line. The grey (3) GUY GIBSON was close-up when back to a sprint after a break and can feature. (10) LICENCE TO THRILL has not been far back since his last win and has a money chance. Race 10 (1,200m) (5) PRICELESS PEARL is still a maiden and returns from a length break. He has been tried over further but faces modest company and will not have to have improved much to have a good chance. (6) COTTON RON seldom runs a bad race but is struggling for his third win. (4) ONE IRISH ROVER and (7) NOW I GOT YOU are old rivals. One Irish Rover is 1kg better off with Now I Got You who has an inexperienced apprentice aboard.
